It hasn’t come from the horse’s mouth but close enough. If Tiger Woods’ coach, Hank Haney, has got it right, then the world number one will be back in time for April’s US Masters in Augusta.
Woods’ last outing was June’s US Open at Torrey Pines, where he won the title after an exhausting 19-hole play-off [...]
“I hear you’re looking for a caddie. I’m Tiger Woods.” With these words, the best golfer in the world returned to the scene of his last competitive outing – Torrey Pines in San Diego.
True to his words, Woods, who won the US Open at the course in June before taking the rest of the year [...]
Jack Nicklaus once called it the fifth major and, indeed, it has a tradition that predates a couple of the true majors of modern times. But the only thing major about the Australian Open these days is its battle to survive.
The 104-year-old event used to be among the most prestigious tournaments outside the four majors, [...]
Tiger Woods has congratulated Padraig Harrington for his PGA Championship victory, while at the same time expressing frustration that he wasn’t there to battle it out with the Irishman.

When Tiger Woods first burst on to the scene, now more than a decade ago, he appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show with his father, Earl.
The famous host asked Earl, in his son’s presence, if Tiger was bigger than the game. His answer was an emphatic “absolutely not!”
Indeed, we would all like to think that [...]
Tiger Woods’ strength-sapping victory at the US Open on Monday has come at a heavy cost. The world number one will need to have further surgery on his left knee and is out for the rest of the season.
This means he will miss the final two majors of the year, the British Open at Royal [...]
At times during Monday’s US Open play-off between world number one Tiger Woods and veteran Rocco Mediate, it was difficult to determine who was mentally bullying whom.
Woods’ standing as world number has been due in no small part to his ability to psyche out his opponents. But that didn’t seem to work against the 45-year-old [...]
“I’ll never be as good as Tiger Woods. I don’t want to be as good as Tiger Woods.” These are the words of Rocco Mediate, several years ago, when Woods was enjoying one of the best periods of his career.

With Alistair Forsyth and Colin Montgomerie slugging it out over the gargantuan Torrey Pines South layout this week it is easy to forget the early dominance Scotland enjoyed as golf developed into a transatlantic obsession.
Scottish golfers won 12 of the first 16 US Opens and Willie McFarlane added another in 1925. Perhaps Scotland’s most famous [...]
All eyes will be on Tiger Woods, yet again, this week as he tries to overcome a lack of match fitness and the effects of knee surgery and win his 14th major title at this week’s US Open.

Justin Leonard tuned up for the US Open in fine style with victory at the Stanford St Jude Championship, beating Trevor Immelman and Robert Allenby in a play-off.
